ABSTRACT
Microbeads of biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) offer environmental benefits and economic competitiveness. The aim of this study was to encapsulate a water-soluble bioactive compound, niacinamide (NIA), in a pH-responsive natural matrix composed of PHB and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) by double emulsification (W1/O/W2) to improve the encapsulation efficiency (%EE) and loading capacity (%LC). PHB was produced in-house by Escherichia coli JM109 pUC19-23119phaCABA-04 without the inducing agent isopropyl ß-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The influences of PHB and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentrations, stirring rate, PHB/CAP ratio and initial NIA concentration on the properties of NIA-loaded pH-responsive microbeads were studied. The NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads exhibited a spherical core-shell structure. The average size of the NIA-loaded pH-responsive microbeads was 1243.3 ± 11.5 µm. The EE and LC were 33.3 ± 0.5 % and 28.5 ± 0.4 %, respectively. The release profiles of NIA showed pH-responsive properties, as 94.2 ± 3.5 % of NIA was released at pH 5.5, whereas 99.3 ± 2.4 % of NIA was released at pH 7.0. The NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads were stable for >90 days at 4 °C under darkness, with NIA remaining at 73.65 ± 1.86 %. A cytotoxicity assay in PSVK1 cells confirmed that the NIA-loaded pH-responsive PHB/CAP microbeads were nontoxic at concentrations lower than 31.3 µg/mL, in accordance with ISO 10993-5.
